软件工程教育中的能力成熟度模型

Good software engineering education plays a vital role to improve the software development ability.In China,many software engineering education institutions have been established in recent years.Current research on the software engineering education is mostly focused on the certain concrete courses and body of knowledge,which lacks the view as an integrated education process.How to evaluate the institutions' education capability and how to help them to improve their capability is a critical issue.This paper describes a model for measuring the maturity of software engineering education processes,which leverages the CMM(Capability Maturity Model)of software process.We call this model SEEDU-CMM(Capability Maturity Model for Software Engineering Education).SEEDU-CMM is used to evaluate the capability of the software engineering education institutions,as well as to provide guide for them to improve their education quality.

Efficient volume preserving approach for skeleton-based implicit surfaces

This paper presents an efficient way to preserve the volume of implicit surfaces generated by skeletons. Recursive subdivision is used to efficiently calculate the volume. The criterion for subdivision is obtained by using the property of density functions and treating different types of skeletons respectively to get accurate minimum and maximum distances from a cube to a skeleton. Compared with the criterion generated by other ways such as using traditional Interval Analysis, Affine Arithmetic, or Lipschitz condition, our approach is much better both in speed and accuracy.     

组合钢模板在水工隧洞混凝土衬砌施工中的应用

This paper is to explore and analyze the representations of women in Hollywood action films-Kill Bill and Charlie’s Angels.In the former Hollywood action films such as 007,women are often depicted as a foil or assistant to the leading actors.What have been emphasized is their appearance and body;they depend on men and they need to be protected by men.However,in Kill Bill and Charlie’s Angels,women appear to be the leading roles.They become physically strong and they are able to defeat men.However,the women images in these films are still designed to meet the men’s standard,to satisfy their sexual desire towards women,and to reflect their male domination.Part I is a brief introduction of the women images in former action films and offers the thesis statement.Part II concentrates on the marginalized and specialized women images,which provide pleasant sensation to male audiences.Part III is about the male domination reflected in these mentioned films.Part IV focuses on the cinematic ways of shooting used in these films and how the women bodies are exposed in front of the audiences by using these means of shooting.Part V is the conclusion of this paper.     

On Cultivating Students' Self-learning Ability and Application of Multimedia into College English Teaching

Multimedia teaching method has been widely used in college English teaching. It has contributed a lot to higher teaching quality.

Diagnosis of glioma by multivoxel 1H-MRSI

Glioma is one of the most malignant tumors due to its special construction of the glia cells and its character of infiltration. The usual procedure of the treatment is the surgical resection followed by radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy. This combined treatment needs the precise information on the extent of the tumor's infiltration and tumor grading, and then the determination can be made as to when, where and what kind of treatment should be used. Functional imaging modalities display advantages in defining the heterogeneous characters and histological grade. This paper describes how the ratios of Cho/NAA and Lac/NAA measured by magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging (MRSI) could be used to define the cancer cell distribution in tissues, tumor burden and malignancy, and the results are proved to be consistent with the histological observation.

Using Domain Ontology in a Semantic Blogging System for Construction Professionals

Smooth communication is essential for the success of construction projects. As an easy-to-use, context-rich, and high-capacity communication tool, blogging is gaining popularity in construction industry. In this paper, the features of blogging technology and how it could benefit construction organizations are presented. To further improve the effectiveness of blogging technology in information and knowledge sharing, an ontology-based semantic blogging system is proposed. Semantic blogging is an extension of conventional blogging and ontology is the key enabling technology for it. Domain-ontology-based semantic blogging site is composed of a network of concepts, which are clearly defined and interlinked according to their context and bound to certain behaviors. This paper reports how the e-Cognos ontology was implemented into a blogging system and how the system functions to process its contents. The paper concludes that using on-tology-based semantic blogging site can greatly enhance information sharing between construction professionals and it is a very promising tool for construction communities to publish and share their experience.

Implications of Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis on Second Language Teaching

1 IntroductionForeign language teaching generally refers to the theory and practice of teaching a foreign language.It has close connection with linguistics,psychology,education,philosophy,sociology and other disciplines.Since linguistics and foreign language teaching both study language phenomena on the aspects of theory and practice,the two are much closely related to each other.Linguistics is beneficial to language teaching in two aspects: Firstly,applied linguistics extends theoretical linguistics in the direction of language learning and teaching,so that the teacher is enabled to make better decisions on the goal and content of the teaching.Secondly,applied linguistics states the insights and implications that linguistic theories have on the language teaching methodology.Once the goal and content of the teaching are settled,the teacher has to consider questions of how to teach.As an English teacher it really enriches my mind on what to teach and how to teach more effectively.This paper will focus on Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis and its implications on second language teaching.     

Poka Yoke——A Way to Achieve Zero Defect

How can all defects in a complex manufacturing, service, or software development operation be prevented if no statistical process control (SPC) is used and if the engineering staff is very small? People unfamiliar with Poka Yoke (mistake proofing devices) usually claim that this is not possible. However, Dr. Shigeo Shingo developed a system of mistake proofing that eliminates defects without the use of SPC or complex solutions. This paper explains how Poka Yoke devices work and how to apply poka yoke devices now to eliminate defects.     

An Analysis of Michael Long＇ s Interaction Hypothesis in Second Language Acquisition

The Interaction Hypothesis, which was first advanced by Michael Long, is considered as a further supplement or extension of the Input Hypothesis in the field of second language acquisition. This paper explains the main claims of Michael Long＇s Interaction Hypothesis, the three steps to study how input and interaction affect the acquisition of a second language, and the importance of the interactional modifications applied by both participants of the interaction. Emphasis is placed on the evaluation of the theory as well as its relation to second language teaching, with many researchers＇ findings and arguments discussed as supporting evidence. It aims to help the effective application of this theory in second language teaching.
